• Current research. The latest trends of research in the connection of maths and music. Artificial Intelligence, theoretical and new instruments, classification and composition tools.
• Art and entertainment. A joyful display of artworks from artists and mathematicians in the field. Talks/concerts at scheduled events
May. 17, 2019 to Dec. 15
La.La.Lab brings the visitor to an interactive exploration and discovery of music from a mathematical perspective. The exhibition pivots over three axis:
• Music theory. Learning what tools build music, and how these tools are usedto create art. Basic concepts and historical comments.

The nature of a given geometry is […] defined by the reference to a determinate group and theway in which spatial forms are related within that type of geometry. [Cf. Felix Klein ErlangenProgram - 1872][…] We may raise the question whether there are any concepts and principlesthat are, although in different ways and different degrees of distinctness, necessary conditionsfor both the constitution of the perceptual world and the construction of the universe ofgeometrical thought. It seems to me that the concept of group and the concept of invarianceare such principles.E. Cassirer, “The concept of group and the theory of perception”, 1944

Embedding the trajectory into different spaces3 2
“[The notion of transformation] comes from a work which played for me a very important role and which I have read during the war in the United States : On Growth and Form, in two volumes, by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, originally published in 1917. The author (...) proposes an interpretation of the visible transformations between the species (animals and vegetables) within a same gender. This was fascinating, in particular because I was quickly realizing that this perspective had a long tradition: behind Thompson, there was Goethe’s botany and behind Goethe, Albert Durer with his Treatise of human proportions” (Lévi-Strauss, conversation with Eribon, 1988).

La sera non è più la tua canzone,è questa roccia d’ombra traforatadai lumi e dalle voci senza fine,la quiete d’una cosa già pensata.
Ah questa luce viva e chiara vienesolo da te, sei tu così vicinaal vero d’una cosa conosciuta,per nome hai una parola ch’è passatanell’intimo del cuore e s’è perduta.
Caduto è più che un segno della vita,riposi, dal viaggio sei tornatadentro di te, sei scesa in questa purasostanza così tua, così romitanel silenzio dell’essere, (compiuta).
L’aria tace ed il tempo dietro a tesi leva come un’arida montagnadove vaga il tuo spirito e si perde,un vento raro scivola e ristagna.
Le soir n’est plus ta chanson,c’est ce rochet d’ombre transpercépar les lumières et les voix sans fin,la paix d’une chose déjà pensée.
Ah, cette lumière vive et claire vientuniquement de toi, tu es si prochedu vrai d’une chose connue,tu as pour nom une parole qui est passéedans l’intimité du cœur où elle s’est perdue .
Tombé est plus qu’un signe de la vie,tu te reposes, du voyage tu es revenueà l’intérieur de toi même, tu es descendue dans cettepure substance qui est si tienne, si éloignéedans le silence de l’être, achevée.
L’air se tait et le temps derrière toise lève tel une montagne arideoù plane ton esprit et se perd,un vent rare glisse et stagne.
(tr. Antonia Soulez, philosophe et poète)
